GenieSummary

Indian Creek Campground is a hidden gem located in the middle of nowhere. It offers RV sites with power and water, as well as BLM sites with pit toilets along the river to the lake. The sites are on a tiered hillside, with no privacy, but with stunning views of the lake. The campground is managed by Oregon State Parks and is very clean and well kept. The drive to the campground is narrow, winding, and along the side of a steep cliff into the lake, and features a hot spring and a one-lane tunnel. There are also numerous easy to access dispersed campsites along the river on BLM land. The lake is great for those with watercraft, but make sure you acquire an invasive species permit. The lake is perfect for boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, etc. There is no cell phone reception at the campground, and it is roughly 40 miles from the nearest medical facilities.

From The Campground

Lake Owyhee State Park is a remote oasis on the eastern edge of Oregon that offers camping and boating on the shore of a scenic desert canyon reservoir. The park contains two campgrounds along Owyhee Reservoir, a 53-mile-long lake that fills a narrow, deep canyon brimming with colorful volcanic rock formations. The Gordon Gulch Day-use Area is open year-round and includes picnic tables and a boat ramp. Many boaters return each year to explore the desert canyon and rugged mountains. Some of the reservoir's incredible geology is visible only by boat. Anglers are awarded excellent warm water catches, especially large mouth bass, white and black crappie. The reservoir also has catfish and is occasionally stocked with rainbow trout. Look for golden eagles, coyotes, ground squirrels, rabbits, pronghorn antelope, mule deer, and wild horses (watch out for rattlesnakes, too). You might even see California bighorn sheep or a mountain lion.
